What ingredients give this vegan ham its distinctive color?

The vibrant, reddish hue of this vegan ham comes from the inclusion of beet powder in the dry ingredients and raw beet in both the wet mixture and the simmering broth.

How is the realistic texture of this vegan ham achieved?

The realistic, meaty texture is primarily achieved through vital wheat gluten, combined with black-eyed peas, and further developed by kneading the dough and simmering it in a broth.

Can I prepare any part of the vegan ham mixture in advance?

Yes, you can blend all the wet ingredients and use 1 1/4 cups for the current ham, then freeze the remaining wet mixture to make another ham later.

What is the purpose of tying kitchen twine around the ham shape?

Tying kitchen twine around the ham shape before simmering helps it maintain its desired form and firmness throughout the cooking process.

What is the recommended way to serve this vegan ham?

After simmering and pressing, slice the ham to your desired thickness, dip each slice into the prepared glaze, pan-fry in grapeseed oil until golden on both sides, and serve warm.
